There's a lot more to those tape machines then I ever imagined, quality of tape and recording speed etc. If you're serious about reel to reel action I'd recommend at least giving this guy a call to pick his brain, tons of info on tap.

First time joining a forum so apologies in advance for breaches of etiquette. Have been a Carver fan since the 70's when I helped my dad build a set of Speakerlab K Horns. Okay, helped might be an exaggeration, I was only five. When he hooked them up to a Phase Linear model 700 my destiny was forever changed. I am currently assembling components for a dedicated HT. Here is where I am at now:

Pioneer SC07 (will be utilized as a pre amp only)2 Grand Cinema 5-200 (9.2 set up)Panasonic BDT-500 (really wanted the new Oppo but the checkerboard output of the Panasonic allows for 3D content on Mitsubishi 3D Ready tv without buying the $400 adaptor on eBay that sold for 200 new)True Sub MK IIM&K S 150s L/C/R, S1Bs (4) for surrounds and 55 tripoles for rears2 M&K 400 Volkswoofers

Please don't laugh at my old M&Ks as I bought them with paper route money. Really.
